The vomit covered Costas , ruined by ignorant tourism. The locals there see themselves as zoo keepers and only tolerate their guests, so that they can make/ take money from them...
My Dad worked at Butlins.. It was the same attitude there.

Well away from the bleeding obvious resorts, visitors or mainly welcome because they tend to be less drunk and disorderly and more interested in their surroundings.... I.M.H.O.

You don't have to go far from the Benidorm type resorts to see a different Spain. I worked for a few weeks in Reus, which is 5 minutes down the road from Salou. The 2 places are totally different, as you say, the British tourists were also totally different to the ones in Salou.

At the time (1990ish) the double decker buses used to ferry out the idiots on their very cheap holidays. Some of them were unbelievable, they made Orcs look sophisticated.

And I am one of those who will definitely be travelling to Spain for as long as I am allowed to. Contrary to what has been said above, I find the Spanish people very welcoming and friendly and Spain a wonderful (and excellent value!) country to spend as much time in as possible. I don't judge a country's people by the actions and statements of politicians who are seeking re-election. I would be mortified if they judged me by the actions and words of our idiotic government.

You mean the very people who support the actions and statements of the very politicians and government who slate and harass the Brits?

Sick and tired of the Peage's in Spain, they won't take UK bank cards and today the bleedin' thing would not take a 50E note, pains in the bloody arse. When the man arrived he said "UK bank card no good" and I replied "It's a Santander card, Spanish". "Yes" he said, "Spanish bank but English account so no good". Anybody else suffered as a result of Brexit lol

Anyway... Back to the Santander bank thread, whilst in Spain we don't withdraw money from Santander banks as their charges are one of the highest we've come across. This includes using our UK Santander bank card.

We had the same problem in Spain, Long before the Brexit vote. Why is everything Brexits Fault?........Let's be honest here, the Spanish do not like the British, They will do everything in their power to disrupt the British, mainly because of Gibraltar. We used to go to Spain almost every year but since they started making things difficult (Illegally) for the people of Gibralter (Uncensored by the EU) I have not been back to spain and will not be back again. Nor have I for many years bought Spanish goods or produce. There are plenty of decent countries to visit and buy from. Why continuously allow ourselves to be humiliated and denigrated by the Spanish?....Go somewhere else.
